The annual meeting of Putnam County Playhouse will be held on Sunday, October 21, at 4 p.m. The event will be in the Rehearsal Center at the Hazel Day Longden Theatre.

All participants and persons interested in PCPH are invited to attend. Admission is free, and light refreshments will be served.

Committee chairpersons will present a report on their activity. Committees include Tickets, Promotions, Program, Finance, and others.

President Michael McClaine will also present his State of the Playhouse address.

Members of the board up for re-election will be nominated and voted on at this meeting as well.

A highlight of the meeting will be the presentation of the Upstage Award, also known as The Hammy. For each mainstage production, the director nominates one person whose performance was most noticed by the audience or who - although had limited time onstage - made the most of that time.
